Back Country Horsemen of America leads the fight to save trails for horse
use and the Tennessee Walking Horse is one of today’s most popular trail

Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Association (TWHBEA) form a partnership to
recognize Tennessee Walking Horses and their riders that best exemplify the
mission of Back Country Horsemen of America. BCHA TWHBEA recognition program 12 2013
